This are 2 livecds (32 and 64bit versions available) which can be used as a regular livecd like knoppix only faster, and have support for audio/video capturing which should work with most v4l cards, also there is support for digital video capturing with kino, video editing with avidemux2, nvidia-driver included, and last but not least reiser4 support.
UPDATE:
LuckyLive 32bit is relseased!.
It supports automounting of partitions, uses captive-ntfs, for read-write mounting of NTFS partitions.
New and Improved hardware auto-detection tools, now NVIDIA-cards use the official NVIDIA driver, and other cards should work with no problems.

Well it is a livecd to install gentoo basically, but it has a full desktop so that you can also do some work while installing.

This cd autodetects hardware using the gentoo scripts and boots into a Kde 3.5 desktop.

Right now it has support for Raid, serial ata drives tv-capture cards dvd burning.

I tried to give it as much hardware support as possible, it works very fast at compiling packages, mostly thanks to the enhanced glibc.

I also am thinking about turning it into a knoppix-style livecd, with an installer to disk, but right now the installer is not ready yet.
A 32-bit version is coming, I´m compiling one right now, so if you have any requests I´d be glad to hear them.

Looks like a great project - but it says torrent doesn't exist

Also, to make it installable, you could *try* to use the GLI and modify it a bit, or you can download lxnay's installer, From the mirror... http://lxnay.no-ip.org/gentoo/gli/latest-rr4-gli.tar.bz2 - Also, I'm going to try and help phaeron (phaeronix.net) with his future releases, He sent me his installer to have a look, its a simple bash/zenity script, but it works

if the installer is not on his site, and you are really interested, I would send it to you.

It wont be too hard to write a script

you need formatting/mounting of hard drives, cp /* /mnt/gentoo, and other odds and ends like rc-update, grub configuration, etc.

Though I run an amd64, I'd also like to see a 32-bit version

Hi Cheater, I´ve uploaded the file to an ftp server courtesy of mudrii, this is the address.
ftp://mudrii.ath.cx/LuckyLive64/
Check the parent post, i´ve fixed the link for the torrent.
And, I am really interested in the installer, and right now am doing a 32bit version of this cd.

Just one question ...... does it have the ULI M526x Controller enabled as a module or bultin (from the Tulip driver) ? If this is not enabled .... it's useless to me because my NIC won't work.
